AN ART RETREAT ON THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO

For two weeks in late January I travelled to the Pacific coast of Mexico, I had signed up for an art retreat with the artist Robert Burridge whose work I have always enjoyed because of his playfulness, sense of colour and theatricality. I booked myself into a hotel in the centre of Puerto Vallarta for a week before the beginning of the retreat in order to acclimatise and to enjoy and see a little of Mexico. I was immediately enchanted. As with Morocco, the colours and the craziness of the environment immediately fed and entranced my senses, and I realised immediately how much I was going to enjoy the people and the vibe of the town. I was captivated by the charm, mischief and fun of the people, the light, life and colour of a beautiful Mexican town, and I ate too much delicious guacamole and drank the best Margaritas I have ever tasted.
